Horace Henry Hayden was born on October 13, 1769, in Windsor, Connecticut, United States, the son of Thomas and Abigail (Parsons) Hayden.
Horace Hayden received his early education in his native town and at the age fourteen made two voyages to the West Indies as a cabin boy on a brig. At sixteen, after a further term at school, he began the study and practice of architecture with his father, with whom he was associated for some five years. In 1792 he removed to New York City, where he studied dentistry with the help of John Greenwood.
About 1800 Horace Hayden began the practice of his new profession in Baltimore, and was licensed as a dentist by the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland in 1810. Hayden practised also in other cities and villages of Maryland, and quickly attained success. Having studied medicine and surgery in connection with dentistry, he was able to act as assistant surgeon as well as sergeant of militia when the British attacked North Point at the mouth of the Patapsco in 1814. During the next few years he published in medical journals several articles on subjects relating to dental physiology and pathology. He was first secretary of the Baltimore Physical Association in 1818, and vicepresident of the Maryland Academy of Sciences and Literature in 1826. He delivered one course of lectures on dental physiology and pathology to medical students in the University of Maryland.
In spite of his longcontinued labors for the elevation of the profession, Hayden was opposed to the first dental periodical, the American Journal of Dental Science, which was established by Harris and others in 1839. He held that he had labored too hard and too long in the acquisition of professional knowledge to sow it broadcast through the land by means of a magazine. In the first volume of the American Journal three of his dental articles were reprinted from medical publications, and his portrait by Rembrandt Peale appeared at the front to the second volume, but his only voluntary contribution was a long series of “Comments” in Vol. Ill on an essay by Harris which had been published in the Journal. Hayden had read an essay on the same subject before the American Society, which did not appear in the Journal, and he included some caustic criticisms of that periodical in his sarcastic “Comments” on the Harris essay. Harris replied in a similar tone thus sustaining a controversy which marked the culmination rather than the beginning of a regrettable estrangement.
Hayden was interested in botany and wrote on silkworm culture, but geology was his chief hobby. In 1820 he published Geological Essays; or, An Inquiry into Some of the Geological Phenomena to be Found in the Various Parts of America, and Elsewhere, which was favorably reviewed in Silliman’s American Journal of Science and Arts (vol. Ill, 1821), but adversely criticized in the North American Review (1821) by a reviewer who opposed Hayden’s theory that the alluvial or glacial deposits of North America were formed at the time of the Biblical deluge. In Parker Cleaveland’s Elementary Treatise on Mineralogy and Geology (1816) Hayden is one of the authorities followed, and in the Appendix to the second edition (1822), Cleaveland stated that he applied the name “Haydenite” to a mineral “recently discovered” by Hayden near Baltimore. This name is still the recognized designation of that form of chabazite. When he died in his seventy-fourth year, he had lived to see the realization of his most cherished project, the establishment of dentistry as an organized profession. He was buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Baltimore. His native town, Windsor, Connecticut, has erected a monument to his memory, and there is a Harris and Hayden memorial tablet in the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery.
Horace Hayden was recognized as one of the foremost dentists of his time. He was cofounder of the first dental college in the world, the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, which was chartered February 1, 1840. He was the first president of the college, and the first professor of the principles of dental science; but he shortly took the chair of dental physiology and Pathology, which he occupied until his death. Hayden received an honorary M. D. from the Medical School of the University of Maryland. He was inducted in the hall of fame of the Pierre Fauchard Academy.
